It was revealed that Amorim was so angry after the game that he didn't say a word to the Manchester United players! Facing six consecutive defeats, bluntly disappointed

Manchester United lost 2-0 at Wolves in the relegation zone, and boss Ruben Amorim publicly admitted after the game that he was disappointed, with the Manchester Evening News saying he was so angry that he didn't say a word to his players in the dressing room. Perhaps, the 39-year-old Portuguese coach has nothing to say about these players.

Amorim was on the sidelines near the Portuguese midfielder when captain Bruno Fernandes was sent off, but he did not protest or console the departing Fernandes, a move that clearly expressed his frustration.

United have been scored from set-pieces in six of their last seven games, which is enough to make Amorim despair. However, a three-game losing streak may not be the bottom point for the Red Devils, as they will next be at home to Newcastle United in the Premier League, Liverpool and Arsenal in the third round of the FA Cup.

Next Monday's home game against Newcastle will be crucial, and if United do not at least keep their unbeaten streak, a defeat from this year to next may be inevitable. Amorim admits that he was very frustrated by the defeat on Boxing Day. 'I said in front of everyone: it's going to be a long journey, it's going to be a very difficult moment, but we have to continue, we need time to train.' Amorim said.

On the question of whether Wolves fouled goalkeeper Onana when United were swept away from a corner by Cunha, Amorim said: "I saw the same goal last week against Tottenham. Onana couldn't touch the ball because he had a defender in front of him and a man behind him, and at the last moment, when he jumped, a touch of his back could make all the difference in whether he could get the ball in the air. Some people didn't even watch the game, but I didn't want to pay attention to that. The good news is that even with only 10 players, the team came close to the opposition goal, but United lost and we had to keep trying.'

Asked if United should change their formation because the players are clearly not used to the 343 system, the British media also told him that Wolves new boss Victor Pereira has won two in a row through a new style of play. In response, Amorim said: "The new system? Same. This team is built for this system! We need to win to get the players to buy into that philosophy and Wolves are in a completely different situation.'

Manchester United centre-back Harry Maguire believes Wolves have not created many chances beyond the two goals, however, he agrees that United need to get the basics right.

'They keep scoring from set-pieces and you can't really put it down to luck. We were scored straight from two corners and that's hard to accept." Maguire said: "I think the Tottenham goal was a foul, very obvious, I haven't seen it yet. Sometimes you don't score from set-pieces and you can't do anything about it, but other times you need to look at yourself and improve.'

Maguire added: "Set-pieces are very important in football and can be the difference between winning and losing. In many games, the two sides are evenly matched, and when the winner is half a game, the first goal is the winner. And our first goal came from set-pieces too many times, which was disappointing.'

After the defeat, Amorim ordered the United players to stay on the pitch and walked out into the visitors' fan zone to apologise to the travelling supporters. While many Red Devils fans have long since left the team because of their poor performances, the Portuguese coach believes the player needs to be on the back burner.
